Ingredients of Van Schier Monnikenwerk
Ingredients:
Fat 50+, pasteurized cow's milk, sea salt, starter culture, microbial rennet, ripening ferments
A unique product from the island
The Van Schier Monnikenwerk is not just any cheese. It is the result of passion, tranquility and the unique nature of the Wadden island of Schiermonnikoog. This cheese is made by hand by the Cistercian monks of the local abbey. They exclusively use the rich milk of cows grazing on the salty meadows of the island. The sea wind and the island flora give the milk a specific and pure character, which can be tasted directly in this delicious cheese.
Monnikenwerk is a semi-hard cheese with a refined, slightly salty and wonderfully creamy taste. Because the cheese ripens artisanally, a beautiful and full aroma develops. In addition, microbial rennet is used during preparation, making this product completely suitable for vegetarians. It is a fantastic cheese to enjoy pure on a cheese board, delicious with a specialty beer or a good glass of wine.
Freshly cut from the knife for the best quality
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat this special abbey cheese with the deepest respect. We only cut your piece of Van Schier Monnikenwerk fresh from the large cheese wheel as soon as you place your order. Immediately after cutting, the cheese is packed tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To preserve the delicate island aromas during the journey, we always ship your order with a cooling pack. This brings absolute top quality and freshness into your home.
